Description
In 1970, Parnelli Jones drove a Grabber Orange Boss 302 Mustang to the SCCA Trans-Am championship. Thirty-seven years later, Steve Saleen teamed with Jones to build a tribute. The Saleen/Parnelli Jones Limited Edition was limited to 500 cars, all finished in Grabber Orange with black "302" hockey-stick stripes, a functional shaker hood scoop, and Saleen wheels styled after the Minilites on Jones's race car.
Saleen enlarged Ford's 4.6L three-valve V8 to 302ci (5.0L) and built it with forged pistons, forged connecting rods, a forged crankshaft, ported cylinder heads, and performance camshafts, for a rating of 400 horsepower — but that was before the optional Super Shaker supercharger from Saleen could be bolted on. Power went through a five-speed manual transmission with a Saleen close-ratio shifter to an 8.8" rear axle with 3.73 gears. The chassis received Saleen Racecraft suspension with N2 coilover dampers, a Watts linkage, and 14" slotted front brake rotors with four-piston calipers.
This Parnelli Jones Edition, which was acquired by the seller in 2019, is serialized #285 of 500 and is finished in Grabber Orange with black stripes over black and orange leather, with a dashboard signed by Parnelli Jones and Steve Saleen. It has since been fitted with a Saleen Super Shaker supercharger and now shows approximately 23,900 miles.
